“…The economic importance of the essential oil composition of B. dracunculifolia ("vassoura" oil) has been widely described in the literature. The main compound, considered an important chemomarker, present in male and female individuals, is the acyclic alcohol sesquiterpene (E)-nerolidol, a compound with antiulcerative activity (Minteguiaga et al, 2021).…”

“…In this continent it is known as an aromatic plant. From the aerial parts, the essential oil is extracted and used in the perfumery industry, in addition to its known therapeutic potential ( Minteguiaga et al, 2022 ). Furthermore, this species provides many services to the ecosystem, including assisting in the formation of a rich fauna of insects and different pollinating species essential for the functioning and sustainability of ecosystems ( Fernandes et al, 2018 ).…”

“…The biological potential found in this species is due to the presence of phenolic and terpenoid compounds. The most common phenolic acids occur in prenylated form, highlighting drupanin, artepillin C, baccharin and baccharin-5″-aldehyde ( Minteguiaga et al, 2022 ). The flavonoids found in aerial parts of B. dracunculifolia are naringenin, acacetin, dihydrokaempferol, isosakuranetin and kaempferide ( Nagatani et al, 2002a ), and are often reported as major constituents of green propolis ( Bonin et al, 2020 ).…”

Baccharis dracunculifolia DC (Lamiaceae) (Asteraceae) is found in South America, mainly in Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay. Folk medicine is used as a sedative, hypotensive, bronchodilator, cardiovascular disorders, anti-flu, and also in skin wounds. Considered the main source of green propolis, which increases the pharmacological interest in this species. It is also known as a “benefactor” plant facilitating the development of other plant species around it, being indicated for the recovery of degraded areas. This species has been studied for decades in order to isolate and identify the active principles present in the aerial parts (leaves and flowers) and roots. The present study consists of a review of the scientific literature addressing the ethnobotanical, ethnomedicinal, phytochemical, pharmacological and potential cytotoxic effects of the B. dracunculifolia species. In this survey, we sought to investigate issues related to the botanical and geographic description of the species, the ethnobotanical uses, as well as the phytochemical studies of the essential oil, extracts and green propolis obtained from the aerial parts and roots of B. dracunculifolia. Using high precision analytical tools, numerous compounds have already been isolated and identified from leaves and flowers such as the flavonoids: naringenin, acacetin, dihydrokaempferol, isosakuranetin and kaempferide; phenolic acids: p-coumaric, dihydrocoumaric, ferulic (E)-cinnamic, hydroxycinnamic, gallic, caffeic, and several caffeoylquinic acids derivatives; phenolic acids prenylated: artepillin C, baccharin, drupanin; the glycosides dracuculifosides and the pentacyclic triterpenoids: Baccharis oxide and friedelanol. The predominant class in the essential oil of leaves and flowers are terpenoids comprising oxygenated monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, highlighting the compounds nerolidol, spathulenol, germacrene D and bicyclogermacrene. These compounds give the species high antimicrobial, antioxidant, antitumor, analgesic, immunomodulatory and antiparasitic potential, making this species a promising herbal medicine. In vitro toxicity assays with B. dracunculifolia extract showed low or no cytotoxicity. However, in vivo analyses with high doses of the aqueous extract resulted in genotoxic effects, which leads us to conclude that the toxicity of this plant is dose-dependent.

Baccharis dracunculifolia DC. and Baccharis microdonta DC. (Asteraceae) are woody species morphologically similar growing in Uruguay, where not taxonomists people often confuse them in field conditions. As the essential oil of B. dracunculifolia (‘vassoura’ oil) is highly prized by the flavor and fragrance industry, the correct differentiation of the two species is a key factor in exploiting them profitably and reasonably. To differentiate both Baccharis species, in this work their volatile expression profiles were studied as an alternative tool to determine authenticity and quality. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were monthly extracted during an entire year from aerial parts of wild populations by simultaneous distillation extraction (SDE), and studied by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS; identification) and conventional gas chromatography (GC‐FID; component abundances determination). Enantioselective gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Es‐GC/MS) was applied in the search of parameters able to ensure genuineness of each species extract. Qualitative VOCs profiles were found to be similar for both species, being β‐pinene, limonene, spathulenol, caryophyllene oxide, and viridiflorol the main components. However, the abundance of those VOCs were two to ten times higher in B. dracunculifolia than in B. microdonta during the year of study. These Baccharis spp. showed species‐specific patterns of VOCs expression according to the seasonality, and interestingly, oxygenated compounds (trans‐pinocarveol and myrtenal) increased their abundances at full‐flowering stages. The enantiomeric distribution of selected monoterpenes (α‐ and β‐pinenes, limonene, linalool, terpinen‐4‐ol, and α‐terpineol) presented differential values for both Baccharis spp., meaning that Es‐GC might be a useful tool for differentiating chemically both species in Uruguay for genuineness determination purposes.

B. palustris Heering (Asteraceae), has been previously characterized as having an unusual essential oil composition with C9-/C10-polyacetylenes as main components, and mono-and sesquiterpenes/terpenoids at minor or trace levels. In this work, new insights into the chemical composition of this oil are presented: 1. TLC profiles using different visualization reagents for their characterization, 2. chemical analyses combining HRGC/qMS, HRGC/HRMS-TOF and HRGCxHRGC/HRMS-TOF, and 3. radical scavenging activity assay using the DPPH methodology were performed. The best TLC visualization conditions for the polyacetylenic components of the oil were obtaining using UVλ= 365 nm and vanillin/H3PO4, HIGHLIGHTS •TLC profiles of B. palustris essential oil with different visualization reagents.• Original application of HRGCxHRGC/HRMS-TOF to a Baccharis spp. essential oil. •Ten unreported terpenoids and lachnophyllum lactone identified in B. palustris oil.• B. palustris oil did not exhibit DPPH radical scavenging activity.• .
